[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
I've been following OMX and ics-deck-inc and I'm wondering which people think is better.

EDIT: Since I posted this, the Evervolv ICS ROM (posted on Twitter only) has gained popularity. It was the first to bring partial camera support, and although ics-deck has since added it, it seems most new features show up in Evervolv first. OMX is also fading away into obscurity.

These are my impressions based on the comments...

ics-deck-inc has been updated more recently (12/25), while development on OMX seems to be at a standstill (going on almost a month). I'm assuming the OMX standstill was related to the holidays though, since before that it was being updated very often.

EDIT: ics-deck-inc is now up to Alpha 5 as of this edit, while OMX is still at a standstill. It seems from this post that there is only 1 person working on OMX

OMX seems to be more further along, but maybe it's an illusion due to the fact that OMX has a much more detailed change log and explains the updates much more clearly (i.e. ics-deck-inc seems to be in "aplha1" still even through I know there have been a few updates)

EDIT: ics-deck-inc and Evervolv have far surpassed OMX. Personally,I prefer Evervolv, but I go back and forth between it and ics-deck-inc.

I see a lot of talk in the comments for ics-deck-inc about having to install Ext4 and Incredikernel, which adds more work for me and a higher chance of messing something up. I don't know about Ext4, but OMX already includes Incredikernel at least (although neither of them explain why I need Ext4 or Incredikernel).

EDIT: ics-deck-inc, Evervolv, and OMX all include incredikernel.

ics-deck-inc has a "Calendar fix" posted but I see a lot of commenters still having problems. Not sure whether or not this is a problem in OMX, but I haven't seen many people complaining about it (at least not lately).

EDIT: It's actually a lot simpler than that calendar fix... you just need to do this and all is well. There's also a fix for exchange calendar sync issues posted a little later in this thread

ics-deck-inc lists Wimax as something that's broken, but since when does the Incredible have Wimax anyway? Anyone know what the deal is with that?

EDIT: It seems this is there because the developer makes ROMs for other devices as well. Inc uses can just ignore it

So most of the above comments are obsolete at this point, but you can still feel free to use this thread to discuss changes and such. There is a separate feedback thread somewhere, but (a) that's just for deck, and (b) this is more about discussion than feedback.

I can just wait
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomeo3000:
I've only used OMX. I got hooked on it, but unfortunately just flashed back to CM7.1 today. In OMX, calendar does not sync with google. Wifi tethering works. Cam no work. Can't use phone as external storage when connect to computer. Also, the ring tones and volume controls are all messed up: phone never rang, just vibrates. When playing pandora, sound is very low, even at max setting. Headphones are not recognized. When I connected to bluetooth in the car, i could make a call and talk over the bluetooth, but pandora or other media would not play through bluetooth.

Unfortunately it sounds like OMX will not be getting another update any time soon. And CM9 is probably still another several months away for INC, if they release it at all. So....looks like i'm stuck with stupid CM7.1 (or maybe MIUI) until i get my tegra3 ice cream phone!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralph0015:
I have been running ics-deck-inc since yesterday morning and here are some things I can tell you:

-Well, first off ics-deck-inc got updated a couple of days ago with loads of fixes including the camera. There are still some strange issues with the camera, but hey, it works.

-As far as incredikernel, ics-deck-inc already has it in the ROM. Therefore you don't have to flash it. There is a new incredikernel from 1/2/2012, while the one in the ROM is from December. Flash the new one if you want, but you don't have to.

-My calendar has worked without issue since I installed it. I think the issue is that calendars from Exchange and such don't sync with it.

-I think the Wimax thing is for another phone and not the incredible.

-Bluetooth works great. Syncs up with my head unit in my truck just fine. Pandora over bluetooth works great as well. The only thing is I can't get the metadata to stream to my head unit.

Hope that helps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
You should definitely try ics-deck (see my post above)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldeladi:
Does MMS work? how partially working is the camera? can u at least take pictures and video
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeRom:
Evervolv has a build going as well, and they have 8 MP camera functional as well as USB mass storage. I'm going to try it now to see how it works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
Yup, I mentioned Evervolv's ROMs. I can definitely say the 8MP camera is working (video and panorama modes still aren't). I haven't tested out USB storage yet but they swear it works.

Right now Evervolv is my favorite, but they seem to go back and forth (hence both in my signature). Best to keep an eye on both (I've given up on OMX, big time)

EDIT: I have now also added Evervolv to the title of the thread.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] "Haus":
I've tried both ICS deck and Evervolv, but neither display my exchange calendar in the calendar app, which is a showstopper for me. Unfortunate, as I likes me some sammich. Exchange syncs fine, and sync settings claims the calendar is up to date, but the calendar app says "no calendars" for the exchange account. Anyone had any luck with this or have a workaround that you like?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] "Haus":
Exchange calendar issue fixed in Evervolv by flashing the zip from from this tweet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apophis9283:
There is a fix for the exchange.apk with the evervolv ics rom peview 5. I have it posted in rootzwiki. i had someone try it out and they confirmed it did work. Just look for post by apophis9283 in rootzwiki
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Actually no need to install ext4 on any of them. Its not required.

P.S. I updated the main thread to add Evervolv to the title... I didn't realize I could do that when I last updated it. (I also updated some of the text in there)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] "Haus":
Note that the exchange fix isn't needed for Preview 6 anymore, they apparently baked it in. Installed P6, latest gapps and ext4 mod from a full wipe and all is well.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYC Coyote:
Does this one have panoramic for the camera? its probably the only thing keeping me from using any ICS at the moment (I could care less about video.. I think I've taken 4 in since I had the phone.. and I got it day 1)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apophis9283:
Not sure, i went back to cm7 atm only because certain apps fc with ics
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apophis9283:
I couldnt stay away from the ics goodiness. Went back to evervolv preview 6. Hope these devs get these market apps compatible with ics soon
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grunt9800:
I loved Evervolv p5 but it still felt unfinished to me. Didn't have any FCs but after running MIUI for so long, I was missing the customization options. I'll probably be back soon though...;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why would a non-functioning panoramic mode be the thing keeping you from using ICS? It's a new feature in ICS, so it's not as if rolling back to gingerbread would make it work. In other words, it's not something you're losing, it's just something you're not getting.

Like I said, perhaps I misunderstood.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ra6idr0y:
@demarcmj Any reason why youre sticking with the 12/08 incredikernel instead of going to 1/03?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apophis9283:
He may have not read the changes. The major change was better battery life with intellidemand and interactive x. I went to the newer kernel and did notice a increase in battery life
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYC Coyote:
Maybe it's how I wrote it. Currently the camera is only 4:3... There isn't an option for full (as there are in current gingerbread roms)... maybe I should have said wide screen...

Although I do believe that it is referred to as panorama on gingerbread and under.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
OK that makes sense, although I've never heard that called panorama on previous versions.

I stuck with the earlier kernel because it worked fine for me (if it aint broke, don't fix it) and battery life isn't something that I really care much about anyway. I don't even know what intellidemand and interactive x are, so that wasn't a factor either.

That said, the newest version of Evervolv (preview 7) comes with 1/3/12 incredikernel so now I'm on that. It also has very basic camcorder support for anyone interested in that.

Hi,

My friend's mother is looking for a new phone. Here are the main key features of wanted phone:

- without touchscreen

- long lasting battery

- reliable

- easy to use

She has old nokia at the moment, but its battery lasts only one day and phone becomes unresponsive from time to time.

I was thinking about some basic nokias without touchscreen.

Greetings,

Pawel
[General Questions and Answers] The-Captain:
I would look into a blackberry... no touchscreen and great battery.

Please hit the thank you button if i helped!
[General Questions and Answers] malteschulz13:
+1 on the BB idea, unless she doesn't want a smartphone then I'd say go with an old Nokia.
[General Questions and Answers] bluepawel:
Well, I think she doesn't want a smartphone. I was thinking about Nokia C5 maybe. Any experience with that phone? I've read somewhere at XDA, that C-series had problems with software stability. Is that true?
[General Questions and Answers] malteschulz13:
I've never used a Nokia so I don't know, but found battery life tests by Cnet, hopefully this helps.

[HTC Rezound] HolyGrail:
Hi guys...I followed the guide for rooting and long story short before I rooted I had 4g with 5 bars....but now (I believe after the one click root) I must have did something wrong...because now i'm on 3g or 1x with showing no bars or one bar. Unless I am having some extreme bad luck with verizon's network....but I don't think so...I've never not had 3 or more bars at least, ever.

I am on Chingy's Ineffablilis, but I know its not the rom. I have for the last 2 hours been searching to find an answer but no luck, I never had this issue before, and been rooting since the OG Droid.

Some searches points me maybe its the baseband?

All I would like to do is put every back to stock....and start over...but can't even get a clear answer on how to do that on the rezound

It's been suggested to uninstall superuser....and do the factory reset.....but when I clicked on factory reset in bootloader...it just booted me into clockwork recovery.

Could really use some help here..:confused:

Thanks if you can.

Update: Wow.....just wow.....didn't know the antennas WERE IN the battery door....you can all just shoot me now. I'll leave this open for others that may come across this issue.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
Given the nature of the recovery partition/os.. I think it would be possible to test out a native armhf environment.. Probably not any performance gains (maybe md5sum?).. but a cool thing to test out..

Doable?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jcarrz1:
This could greatly improve the quadrant performance on at least "cpu performance" and "disk i/o speed" amirite?

sounds interesting
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fonix232:
Maybe CPU performance, but disk i/o speed is I think caused by low bus speeds... or the EMMC interface Asus used for their NAND, maybe it's badly implemented (Samsung and Acer all use the same method, NAND on an EMMC I/O interface, so it's detected as an sdcard, but their method is fast). And maybe improve database read/write (SQL encoding etc)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
Well, I do not know if android be compiled for armhf. I was mainly speaking of the recovery 'system'.. fpu performance can increase from 30-40%. This could probably help out software video decode and certain elements of certain games..

Its like the name suggests.. it uses hardware fpu on the armv7.. the curent implementation maintains compatibility with older devices and passes only some fpu instructions to hardware.. its called softfp.. I'd hope most of android is softfp (well actually, hardfp would obviously be preferred - but it wouldn't work with older arm cpus)

Have a look..

http://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort

And yeah.. disk io would probably still suck. But as you may or may not know - even a usb3 flash drive, which obviously has capable flash memory of going beyond usb 2.0 bus speeds, fails to reach full usb 2.0 bus speeds on the tf101..

I've said this before.. if you want optimal emmc reads/writes, bypass the middle man (/system/bin/sdcard binary) and write directly to /data/media.. /system/bin/sdcard process chews a lot of cpu when you write to /mnt/sdcard/

I suppose this all done to keep the perms for /data/media conforming to

1023.1023 rw rw r (664)

Also, when a large file transfer is taking place using something like terminal emu.. its best to kill any memory hogs before hand.

kill `pgrep browser` `pgrep launcher`.. don't worry, they'll come back when you're done.

But I digress.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Deathisfatal:
This probably won't work as the proprietary blobs from nvidia/Asus are likely only compiled for softfp
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
Again, this would be for the recovery partition.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fonix232:
And of course, kernel too. The graphics acceleration blobs are Asus/nVidia properties, but yet we could increase the performance a bit.

About sdcard mount: what if, instead of using that crappy fuse mount Asus wrote, simply creating a symlink: yes, attaching through MTP would be a PITA, and there would be permission problems at the beginning, but with one-two smart services, they can be eliminated. Or remake the sdcard binary, but in a somewhat less performance-eating way, by creating a virtual new device and mounting it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Jonman409:
Asus didn't make it, but they may have modified it. You can see the source here: http://ww.bensonkim.com/system/core/sdcard/sdcard.c I can also look in the kernel upsream and see if there were any significant improvements to fuse that can be backported.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fonix232:
I was talking about their modifications, as yes, they modified it. You might not have noticed, but I did (after playing with a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an Acer Iconia A500), that the TF's performance is way lower than those two, yet the hardware is 99% the same, or even better (the GTab10.1 bases on the Harmony board, just like the A500, but the TF is on the newer, better performance Ventana board)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
I guess its a case of irony, but the harmony board's nand timings appear to be very very easy to tweak.

See board-harmony.c in 2.6.34 - not saying this is a sane solution.. but if I could do it on the tf, I would - within reason. Don't want corrupt writes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fonix232:
Harmony, if I can say that, was a bit 'more open' in this sense: it had more options to tweak, but just bcos it had the older Tegra2 chipset (AFAIK, ours is the T20 T250 version, while the Harmony board houses an AP20H T250), and was a more "test board".
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
Yeah, I have a gtab - it clocks to 1.7 with ease and the gpu is just as capable. I don't think it can run the l4t (Linux for Tegra) stuff tho... so its not exactly a dev board.. isn't kind of the same thing? AP20H vs T20 is not like T25 vs T20.

Edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra_2

Erm... harmony may not mean it has AP20H.. as the viewsonic gtab is definately a harmony board
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fonix232:
The Wikipedia one is wrong I guess, as the Harmony definitely had AP20H. Point is, it is a slightly different SoC.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lilstevie:
nope, you are wrong.

The difference between harmony and ventana is:

Harmony is the nvidia reference board for phone form factor and has T20 silicon revision A02.

Ventana is the nvidia reference board for tablet form factor and has T20 silicon revision A03.
